Unity Importer Skills

Use this module to change import settings for textures, audio, and models that already exist in the project.

Batch-first: Prefer the batch setters when configuring 2+ assets of the same category.

Guardrails

Mode: Full-Auto required

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

• importer_import does not exist -> use asset_import in the asset module to bring files into the project
• importer_set_format does not exist -> use the specific texture/audio/model setters
• importer_get_settings does not exist -> use the category-specific getters
• Settings changes do not always apply instantly in memory. Reimport may still be required

Routing:

• File import or refresh -> asset
• Texture settings -> texture_*
• Audio settings -> audio_*
• Model settings -> model_*
• Alternative importer bridge skills -> texture_set_import_settings, audio_set_import_settings, model_set_import_settings
• Force importer refresh -> asset_reimport or asset_reimport_batch

Skills

Texture Route

Import settings:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
texture_get_settings	Read texture importer settings	assetPath
texture_set_settings	Set texture importer settings	assetPath, textureType?, maxSize?, filterMode?, compression?, mipmapEnabled?, sRGB?, readable?, wrapMode?
texture_set_settings_batch	Batch texture settings	items
texture_get_import_settings	Read minimal importer settings (type/maxSize/compression/filter/srgb/readable/mipmap)	assetPath
texture_set_import_settings	Alternative texture import bridge	similar texture fields

Query and runtime info:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
texture_find_assets	Search Texture2D assets by AssetDatabase filter	filter?, limit? (default 50)
texture_get_info	Inspect dimensions, format, and runtime memory size	assetPath
texture_find_by_size	Find textures in a dimension range (pixels)	minSize? (0), maxSize? (99999), limit? (50)

Typed / platform overrides:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
texture_set_type	Switch texture type	assetPath, textureType (Default/NormalMap/Sprite/EditorGUI/Cursor/Cookie/Lightmap/SingleChannel)
texture_set_platform_settings	Override per-platform settings	assetPath, platform (Standalone/iPhone/Android/WebGL), maxSize?, format?, compressionQuality?, overridden?
texture_get_platform_settings	Read per-platform override	assetPath, platform
texture_set_sprite_settings	Sprite-specific knobs (PPU, mode)	assetPath, pixelsPerUnit?, spriteMode? (Single/Multiple/Polygon)
sprite_set_import_settings	Sprite importer bridge (PPU, packingTag, pivot)	assetPath, spriteMode?, pixelsPerUnit?, packingTag?, pivotX?, pivotY?

Common texture decisions:

• UI sprites -> textureType="Sprite", usually mipmapEnabled=false
• Pixel art -> filterMode="Point"
• Runtime CPU reads -> readable=true only when necessary
• Platform-tuned builds -> prefer texture_set_platform_settings over global texture_set_settings

Audio Route

Import settings:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
audio_get_settings	Read audio importer settings	assetPath
audio_set_settings	Set audio importer settings	assetPath, forceToMono?, loadInBackground?, loadType?, compressionFormat?, quality?
audio_set_settings_batch	Batch audio settings	items
audio_get_import_settings	Read minimal importer defaults (loadType/format/quality/forceToMono/loadInBackground)	assetPath
audio_set_import_settings	Alternative audio import bridge	similar audio fields

Clip query and info:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
audio_find_clips	Search AudioClip assets by filter	filter?, limit? (default 50)
audio_get_clip_info	Inspect length/channels/frequency/samples of a clip	assetPath

Scene runtime (AudioSource / AudioMixer):

Skill	Use	Key parameters
audio_add_source	Add an AudioSource to a GameObject	target (name/instanceId/path), clipPath?, playOnAwake? (false), loop? (false), volume? (1)
audio_get_source_info	Read the AudioSource configuration	target
audio_set_source_properties	Update AudioSource fields	target, clipPath?, volume?, pitch?, loop?, playOnAwake?, mute?, spatialBlend?, priority?
audio_find_sources_in_scene	List all AudioSources in the active scene	limit? (default 50)
audio_create_mixer	Create a new AudioMixer asset	mixerName? (default NewAudioMixer), folder? (default Assets)

Common audio decisions:

• Long BGM -> loadType="Streaming"
• Short SFX -> loadType="DecompressOnLoad"
• Memory-sensitive SFX libraries -> consider forceToMono=true
• Scene-side AudioSource tuning -> prefer audio_set_source_properties over manual component edits

Model Route

Import settings:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
model_get_settings	Read model importer settings	assetPath
model_set_settings	Set model importer settings	assetPath, globalScale?, meshCompression?, isReadable?, generateSecondaryUV?, animationType?, importAnimation?, importCameras?, importLights?, materialImportMode?
model_set_settings_batch	Batch model settings	items
model_get_import_settings	Read minimal importer defaults (scale/compression/animationType/importAnimation/materialImportMode)	assetPath
model_set_import_settings	Alternative model import bridge	similar model fields

Query and info:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
model_find_assets	Search model assets by filter	filter?, limit? (default 50)
model_get_mesh_info	Mesh vertex / triangle / submesh stats	target (name/instanceId/path) or assetPath
model_get_materials_info	Inspect sub-asset materials embedded in the model	assetPath
model_get_animations_info	List animation clips and framerates on the model	assetPath
model_get_rig_info	Read animationType, avatar, skeleton binding info	assetPath

Animation and rig:

Skill	Use	Key parameters
model_set_animation_clips	Configure animation clip splits	assetPath, clips (JSON array of {name, firstFrame, lastFrame, loop})
model_set_rig	Switch rig/skeleton mode	assetPath, animationType (None/Legacy/Generic/Humanoid), avatarSetup?

Common model decisions:

• Characters -> animationType="Humanoid" when retargeting is required
• Static props -> disable cameras/lights/animation imports when unused
• Baked-lighting meshes -> enable secondary UVs when appropriate
• After model_set_rig or model_set_animation_clips -> call asset_reimport to refresh clips and avatar

Reimport Rule

After importer changes, use reimport when you need Unity to fully refresh the asset:

Skill	Use
asset_reimport	Reimport one asset
asset_reimport_batch	Reimport assets matching a search scope

Minimal Example

import unity_skills

unity_skills.call_skill("texture_set_settings_batch", items=[
    {"assetPath": "Assets/UI/icon_play.png", "textureType": "Sprite", "mipmapEnabled": False},
    {"assetPath": "Assets/UI/icon_pause.png", "textureType": "Sprite", "mipmapEnabled": False}
])

unity_skills.call_skill("audio_set_settings",
    assetPath="Assets/Audio/bgm.mp3",
    loadType="Streaming",
    compressionFormat="Vorbis",
    quality=0.7
)

unity_skills.call_skill("asset_reimport", assetPath="Assets/Audio/bgm.mp3")
